Hi - I don't believe SetForeign resizes the arrays, I think it just
overwrites the contents. I ran into that in the past, I think what I did
was to set the current ticker to an index or something with a very long
history and then search for the first non-null value. Might want to do a
quick plot of the foreign values though just to be
sure...
